Whale meat as economic stimulus?

Should you happen to have wondered, here’s what whale sashimi looks like. The photo below ran on the newswires earlier this year when, in what was called a recession-fighting move, a Japanese department store started selling whale meat for 50 percent off. The sashimi below is apparently from a sei whale, a baleen that is a smaller cousin — well, if “smaller” is 65 feet long and 50 tons — of the blue whale.

There was a recent post on Mike Hess’ Hardboiled posing the question “what food could be used to torture you?”…someone commented that whale sashimi was the sole most nauseating food they’d ever tasted- it caused actual retching and for the commenter to spit it out..funny to read this just days after this post!
